Abstract
The technology generally relates to spatial audio communication between devices. For example, a first device and a second device may be connected via a communication link. The first device may capture audio signals in an environment through two or more microphones. The first device may encode the captured audio with spatial configuration data. The first device may transmit the encoded audio via the communication link to the second device. The second device may decode the encoded audio into binaural or ambisonic audio to be output by one or more speakers of the second device. The binaural or ambisonic audio may be converted into spatial audio to be output. The second device may output the binaural or spatial audio to create an immersive listening experience.
